What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Chiang Mai for October 25 to November 30, 2026, round trips of 3 to 6 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- Sky lanterns are banned inside the city on most nights and restricted to set zones and hours on the festival nights; the mass releases are private and ticketed.
- Flights are rerouted for the lanterns, so check for schedule changes on the festival evenings.
- Chiang Mai airport is 15 minutes from the old city; the Nawarat bridge and the riverside are the main free lantern spots.
